Can We Be Smarter?
- Treatment selection based on 19th century
technology (sorry pathologists…)
- What about 20th-21st century technologies?
– Immunoscore: CD3+ and CD8+ T cells in the center and periphery of the tumor – Circulating tumor DNA

ctDNA Detection Post-Op and After Completion of Adjuvant Chemo Predicts for Recurrence in Stage III Colon Cancer

Conclusions – Stage III Colon Cancer
- 3 months of adjuvant FOLFOX/CAPOX is
technically not non-inferior to 6 months
- But, 3 months can be preferred in T1-3N1
(low risk) stage III colon cancers with significant reduction in peripheral neuropathy
- Immunoscore and ctDNA may inform
treatment selection in the future (trials underway)
